I've seen the Rolling Stones Forgot about Johnny Rotten Saw the Who back in '69 Saw Bobby Seal Talkin' to the Panthers Sayin' just what he had on his mind I saw Marlon Brando On a motorcycle He was actin' out rebellion I saw Rocky Stallone In an X-rated movie Called the Italian Stallion I've seen lots of things But I have not seen a lot of other things CHORUS (But I know) You've got to stand for something Or you're gonna fall for anything You've gotta stand right up for somethin' Or you're gonna fall....for anything I saw Nikita Krushchev Kissin' Fidel Castro Saw a man walkin' on the moon I saw Miss America In a girly magazine I bet you saw that too I've seen the London Bridge In the middle of a desert Seen 33 years go by I know the American people Paid a high price for justice And I don't know why Nobody seems to know why I know a lot of things But I don't know a lot of other things...Yeah Yeah Yeah CHORUS Well I've been to Harlem County And I've seen Paris, Texas And I've spent some time in Rome I know a lot of funny people In a lot of funny places But the Midwest is my home We've got to start respectin' this world Or it's gonna turn around and bite off our face CHORUS Repeat
